Rose's Midget Revue was the "Biggest Little Show on Earth," an artistically diverse all-midget variety show that performed at fairs and theaters in the United States and Canada in the 1920s-1950s.
Despite widespread critical acclaim over its 30-year existence, the revue is almost forgotten today and is omitted from histories of vaudeville.

Rose's revue was said to be "the most gorgeously staged Midget show in the United States" (Sandusky Star Journal, 1926).
"Their name will be a by-word in every home, as they are sure to eclipse and excel all previous records for entertainment and originality," predicted the Southtown Economist in 1922.

In 1937, the Dubois Daily Express hailed the troupe as "the world's most sensational liliputian " variety act and musical ensemble.
It was "acclaimed by critics to be fully on a par with the finest of Broadway productions" (Harrison Daily News, 1937), and was said to be "one of the best known [organizations] of its kind in the business" (Billboard,1947).
